Too true Daria I haven't slept properly in 3 days. I need to get off here but I think I live here now awful isn't it? Oh well y'all get rid of me in 10 days when I leave for vacation. haha and your welcome for the updates even if I sometimes don't make sense.

Forget the two gold medals, tonight Laura Trott picked up the real prize for her Olympic achievement - a date with a prince. Twenty four hours after she won the women's omnium - her second triumph of London 2012 - the 20-year-old was invited to join Prince Harry at the final of the women's beach volleyball competition. And the pair got on like a house on fire, laughing and joking together as they watched the final medal matches in Horse Guards Parade.

I know it wasn't a real "date", and that Laura has a boyfriend anyway, but don't they look cute together?
She's certainly Harry's type: blond, athletic, smart and determined. Who knows? I wouldn't mind if these two dated for real, though my opinion hardly matters.
One thing though: Harry is absolutely gorgeous, but I would think Laura values her hard-earned Olympic gold medals more than a date, and not a real one at that.

The Duchess of Cambridge's winning streak at the Olympics ended tonight as she watched Team GB's women hockey players lose in a tense semi-final. Kate, wearing a white Team GB polo shirt underneath a navy blazer, joined thousands of sports fans in the hockey stadium as Great Britain tried to reach the Olympic women's final for the first time. But despite battling hard, the British team lost 2-1 to Argentina to miss out on a chance to compete for the gold medal.

Ah, so now we know the secret of Team GB's success. Not hard work and determination, not even luck, but Kate's presence.
Seriously, articles like this are just begging for negative comments. There aren't any right now but I bet the top-rated one aren't going to be nice.
On a different note, I loved that blazer so much that I actually bought it. And the red Zara one. Pathetic, I know. Never followed "celebrity trends" before.

I agree its not a serious date and she is a great girl but not suitable. I'm not being critical - I wouldn't have been suitable material either.

I hesitate to say this but he needs someone suitable to be a potential queen. I know some might disagree, but think back to Sarah Furguson - lovely girl, lively, athletic, fun but no one would have ever wanted her for queen.

He's between a rock and a hard place - and so am I cos I've gone off topic - sorry!

As long as they only drink them occasionally, I don't really see a problem. There are worse things they could be exposed to as far as their health.

I do love that CP Mathilde brought along fresh fruit(apples) for her youngsters when she had them with her in the stands a few days ago...very good and healthy example she was setting!

I agree; having a soft drink once in a while is not a big deal. I bet this was more like a 'special treat' due to the fact that they're at the Olympics (and who knows, maybe it was just easier to not argue about having a soda in the middle of a crowded stadium, in front of the world press). Another point is that we don't know what these two like in terms of food. Personally, I don't see Mary and Frederik as the types of parents that would encourage unhealthy habits, given that they expose the kids to sports, so I think it's just a matter of giving them a treat.

Ok so I am having trouble viewing page 32 but tomorrow The Duchess of Cambridge will attend Synchronize swimming at 15:00 BST, 10:00 EST and 7:00 PST then Prince Harry will visit Team GB house as well as attend the Athletics events. They start 9:00 BST, 4:00 EST, 1:00PST and run till 21:20 BST, 16:20 EST and 13:20 PSt not sure which exact one he will attend

Then on Friday the Duchess of Cambridge was supposed to attend the Gold Medal match in Filed Hockey but since Team GB is not in it I'd assume she would go to the Bronze Medal game instead

And Saturday the Duchess will attend the Men's 10 M diving this starts at 10:00 BST, 5:00 EST and 2:00 PST with the final at 20:30 BST, 15:30 EST and 12:30 PST

And finally on Sunday the Duchess of Cambridge along with Prince Harry will attend the closing ceremony at 1:00 pm PST 21:00 BST, 16:00 EST

So long as Christian and Isabella aren't drinking 2-3 bottles of soda everyday I'm ok with. But they are really too young to be drinking sodas or any carbonated drinks. Not to mention the caffeine in sodas. You guys are probably right about it being a special treat as they are at the Olympics.
